or INTEREST TO FARMERS.


A small garden with few well-chosen,
well-grown towering plants, If kept in
scrupulous order and neatness, will be far
more gratifying to its owner, and to his
friends, than large collection of plants
without order, arrangement or neatness.
OF course, there is a choice in plants, and
garden Of the common flowers, well-kept,
is far more ci'editabie than a Jungle of
expensive novelties, left to care for them
selves Good keeping in the garden is
equivalent TO good keeping" in the house.
Both depend upon hundreds of small things,
easily done If attended to at the right time
In a large garden special toofhouse will
be found most useful, but in small one a
place for the tools must be found in some
other building. The wall of woodshed
or of barn, or a suitable, large, Cupboard
like structure, built against board fence
or building, may be made-indeed, any
place that will hold the tools. 1t Is fal
more important that the tools are brought
back to their places after using, than that
their places should be shovy. In every
garden, even very small one, there occur
various materials, collectively known a.
RUBBISH" which must be disposed of
1t is a mistake to have rubbish heap ir
some corner and throw all the refuse mat
ter from the garden upon it. There should
be at least three places of deposit for th,
different kinds of rubbish, if the premise,
are large enough, otherwise it must be re
moved altogether

The M;schivOus Cut-Worms.

Some of them ascend trees, shrubs and
other plants in their destructive work, while
most of them coniine their operations to
the surface, and work their mischief by
cutting off young and tender plants even
with the ground. Their work is done at
night, and, as day light approaches, they
hide themselves in holes in the ground.
Cabbage, when first set out, and lettuce and
other plants of the garden, up to squashes,
and other plants of the farm, are attacked
by them. Growing muskmelons and
watermeons for Northern markets, is now
an important industry in the Southern
States, especially within easy reach of the
shipping ports, some hundreds of acres be-
grower of melons, as well as of cabbagss,
etc, finds that his greatest obstacle TO sue
cess is in the attacks of Cut-worms. VarL
GUS devices have beeu proposed to ward OF
their attacks, but among these, none
appears TO be so sensible, or so effective,
as that devised by Doctor A. Oemler,
author of ',rruck Farming for the South.
Doctor Oemler kills OFF the Cut-worms be-
foro the plants appear, Upon his water
melon fields he sets poison traps at abou,
fifteen feet apart each way. These "traps
are cabbage or turnip leaves; which have
been moistened on the concave side, ana
then busted with mixture of Paris-green
with twenty parts of flour. These leaves
are placed over the fields, poisoned side
down, at the distances above stated, before
The plants appear.

Cleaning CARPETS,

Carpet-cleauing, as ordinarily performed,
is literally carpet-beating and does much
toward destroying the carpet. The proper
way, if one is in the comtry,l is to get a
branch Of a tree or young saplingas thick
as the butt of an axe handle, and which
terminates in a good number of light, whip
like shoots. A beech branch will some
times be found, which will answer the pur-
pose. 1t must be trimmed up and every
twig, knot or roughness be removed which
could catch in the threads and tear the
carpet, or course, the fattef the upper
part is the BETTER as more of the whips
will strike at the same time. To clean the
carpet, hang ii over line placed SO high
that the lower edge will clear the ground.
Take the big whip in both hands and strike
strong, quick blow. A cloud of dust
will fly from the whole space struck. vel
the blow will not appear TO make very mucl
impression on the carpet itself. The end:
OF the branch have divided the force of the
blow among themselves and each one ha,
made sharp, quick stroke like that of q
riding whip.

Riley Acquitted.

The preliminary examination of
Matt Riley, the crook who was
taken in at Council Bluffs, was held
last Friday afternoon. before Justice
Myers. 1t was without special in
terest, as there was nothing in evil
dence to show that he was in any
way connected with the robbery at
Consigny's. AS was stated last
week, Perry Storm denied acquaint-
ance with Riley and said that he
never had seen him until he was
brought to Jail by the sheriff. The
officers were not satisfied that this
was truth, and accordingly listened to
the conversation between Storm and
Riley, which gave assurance tina,
they had been acquainted before
meeting in the Jail. They referred
to mutual friends who were crooks
and whom they often located in "the
pen" in this or that place. But the
officers never overheard converse
ton that would associate Riley with
Storm in the safe robbery at Audi
bon. If they were together engaged
in that crime they have concealed
the fact well, and it may never b.
known to certainty, but it is the
verdict of the officers that Riley i.
guilty, but that it cannot be proven
Justice Myers was compelled te
acquit Riley, but sheriff Eaglesor
of Greene county was opportunely
on hand to arrest him for completely

their own than to try to suppress

is tolerated and given respectful

ROBERT P. PORTER, great stu
dent of industrial subjects, is at pres
ent writing series of letters upon
the "toilers of London" having gone
thither to give the m after his closest
attention. 1t IS a most lamentable
state of affairs he finds. In the
"shades of London" there lives, or
rather exists, 100000 people, being
about two. thirds of that great
city's population, who are in poorer
circumstances than the most poorly
paid laborers on American shores.
Mr.. Porter finds large families liv-
ing exclusively in one room, for
which the rent paid is equal to one
eth and frequently one-fourth of the
salary of the laborer. The wages
they are able to earn is from 81 to
So per week, and they are deprived
of all privileges and recreation. 1t
is, indeed, sorry picture, and is not
overdrawn. From the ignorance
and hatred such conditions have and
will produce there may arise revo.
luton that will overthrow the faulty
system OF government that has nour-
ished and developed it. Such con-
ditions will never overtake Ameri-
can workingmen SO long as their
interests are guarded by the pro-
tective system.

A Thriving Industry.

The Audubon County Brick
Yard now presents scene of indus
try and activity, being crowded to
meet the demands of builders. Mr..
Tramp, fortunately, has put in ma
chinery so that he is able to turn out
a greater number and better quality
of brick than has ever been manu-
featured in the county. The machine
he recently purchased for grinding
and moulding does its work in fine
shape, making brick that is very
compact and much superior to the
hand made article. An engine is
proving an equally time and labor
saving assistant in the summers
work. Mr.. Tramp gives employ
ment to seven men, who turn out
10000 brick per day. The capacity
of the moulding machine is double
that amount, and could be attained
by putting on double force of at
PENDANTS.
Already this season kiln Of So
900 has been burned, and a very
small portion of the kiln is now in
the yard. The second kiln, con-
tanning 10000 was fired last Mon
day and will have finished burning
about June 81. Mr.. Tramp has
secured the contract for the 10000
brick to be used in the new school
house addition, SO that this
extra demand with the buildings in
prospect will require that the ma,
chine be run to its full capacity a
great part of the summer.
In this one thriving little industry
which Mr.. Tramp is conducting SC
unostentationsly, and which is giving
profitable labor to seven men, may
be seen the advantages Of manufac'
turing plants to community.

The Bivouao Of the Dead.
nj THEODORE o'HApA.

The muffled drums sad roll has beat.
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on life's parade shall meet
The brave and daring few.
On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac Of the dead.
No answer Of the foes advance
Now swels upon the wind;
No troubled thought at midnight haunts
OF loved ones lett behind:
No vision OF the morrow's strife
The warriors dream alarms;
No braying horn or screaming fife
At dawn shall call to arms.
Their shivered swords are red with rust,
Their plumcd heads are bowed;
Their naughty banner trailed in dust
Is now their martial shroud,
And plenteous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
And their proud forms in battle gashed
Are free from anguish now.
The neighing steed, the flashing blade,
The trumpet's stirring blast,
The charge, the dreadful cannonade,
The din and shout are past;
Nor wars wild note, nor glory's peal,
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that never more shall feel
The rapture OF the fight.
Like the dreadful northern hurricane
That sweeps his broad plateau,
Flushed with triumph yet to gain
Came down the serricd foe,
Our heroes felt the shock and lcapt
TO meet them on the plain;
And long the plying sky hath wept
Above our gallant slain.
Sons Of our consecrated ground,
Ye must not slumber there,
Where stranger steps and tongues resound
Along the hedless air.
Your own proud lands heroic soil
Shall be your filter grave;
She claims from War his richest spoil
The ashes of her brave.
So meath their parent turf they rest,
Far from the CORY field;
Borne to a Spartan mothers breast
On many a bloody shield;
The sunshine OF their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindly hearts and eyes watch by
The heroes sepulcher.
Rest on, embalmcd and sainted deadt
Dear as the blood you gave,
No impious footsteps here shall tread
The heritage Of your grave;
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While Fame her record keeps,
Or honor points the hallowed spot
Where valor proudly sleeps

IT WAS something of victory
for Ryan when his case was sent to
Cass county for trial. There he has
been favored, even 20 being an OBJ
ject of sympathy and we may say
little sentimental gush, and moth
ing is more hazardous to the ad-
ministratlon OF cool, level-headcd
justice than sentiment. The atrocity
of cold looded crimes is often for
gotten when sentiment is INDUCED.
The l.ading newspapers of Atlantic
have, perhaps unconsciously, favored
the case OF the criminal-he who
had been once convicted and who
was guilty "beyond a reasonable
doubt" The Telegraph report was
biased, the Messenger sees in Ryan
"a generous, good hearted boy who
would not have injured kitten" ex-
cept when he was in his cups. The
Democrat discusses the case al
some length, and pleads that his
sentence be made lighter than before.
We know of nothing to prejudice
these papers unless it be their friend
illness to the leading attorney for the
defense, and this should not warp
their judgment. However, the trial
has terminated and the verdict is
just and right. 1t could not have
been more Just. under the indictment
